. >> jay carney, a spokesperson for the white house, said this. when it comes to the kinds of choices politicians make in washington and what their priorities are, it is worth noting that last year there was an effort to underfund the money used to provide relief to americans when they have been hit by disasters. and that effort was led by congressman paul ryan, who is now running to be vice president of the united states. no surprise, a ryan spokesperson, came back with this. paul ryan believes providing aid to victims of natural disasters is a critical obligation and should be treated as a high priority within a fiscally responsible budget. it's sad that the white house would stoop to using this heartbreaking event as an opportunity to distort his record and play politics. a romney-ryan administration will always ensure there is disaster funding for those in need. period. what is the source of the funding for these things that protected new orleans and other cities as well? >> well, first of all, we should never leave anybody behind in a storm.
